We first told you about a new book about Pink Floyd's classic album, "Dark Side Of The Moon", being published by Ashgate Publishing, back in March 2003. It was obviously in its early stages then, but we're happy to say that the book is now finished, and will be hitting the stores on 12th January.

Speak To Me: The Legacy Of Pink Floyd's DSOTM

The book will contain fourteen essays, three interviews and a 50-page annotated bibliography. Literary and music scholars from across the globe will contribute the essays, which all focus on the music, and the three interviews are with Clare Torry, who sings on the album, Mike Gordon of Phish, who have performed the album in concert, and Michael Goldwasser of Easy Star Records, who produced the excellent "Dub Side Of The Moon" reggae tribute to Dark Side - reviewed elsewhere on this website.
